“ If I cry out,‘ Violence!’ I receive no answer; I cry for help, but there is no justice.

我因委屈呼叫，却不蒙应允；我呼求，却不得公断。

看哪，我喊冤叫屈，却不蒙应允；我呼求，却没有公正。

看哪，我喊冤叫屈，却不蒙应允；我呼求，却没有公正。

我喊冤，却无人回应；我呼救，却不见公道。

我呼叫‘强暴！’却没有回答；我呼求，却得不到公断。

我因委曲呼叫，卻不蒙應允；我呼求，卻不得公斷。

看哪，我喊冤叫屈，卻不蒙應允；我呼求，卻沒有公正。

看哪，我喊冤叫屈，卻不蒙應允；我呼求，卻沒有公正。

我喊冤，卻無人回應；我呼救，卻不見公道。

我呼叫‘強暴！’卻沒有回答；我呼求，卻得不到公斷。

『我若哀叫說：「受橫暴啊！」卻沒有應我的；我呼救，卻得不到公斷。

我呼屈抑、而不蒙垂聽、我求援助、而不得公斷、

我雖赴訴、不蒙聽察、我雖呼籲、不得昭雪。

我因被屈哀告、不蒙對答、我雖呼號、不得伸冤、

“ Though I cry,‘ Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.

“ I cry out,‘ Someone harmed me!’ But I don’t get any reply. I call out for help. But I’m not treated fairly.

Behold, I cry out,‘ Violence!’ but I am not answered; I call for help, but there is no justice.

“ I cry out,‘ Help!’ but no one answers me. I protest, but there is no justice.

I cry out,“ Violence!” but get no response; I call for help, but there is no justice.

“ Behold, I cry,‘ Violence!’ but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice.

“ If I cry out concerning wrong, I am not heard. If I cry aloud, there is no justice.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.

I cry out:“ Violence!” but get no response; I call for help, but there is no justice.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but[ there is] no judgment.

“ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

How long, LORD, must I cry for help? But you do not listen! I call out to you,“ Violence!” But you do not intervene!Why do you force me to witness injustice? Why do you put up with wrongdoing? Destruction and violence confront me; conflict is present and one must endure strife.

Also, when I cry out desperately for help, he has shut out my prayer.

I cry out to you, but you do not answer me; I stand up, and you only look at me.

although there is no violence in my hands and my prayer is pure.“ O earth, do not cover my blood, nor let there be a secret place for my cry.Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.

If I am guilty, woe to me, and if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head; I am full of shame, and satiated with my affliction.If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.You bring new witnesses against me, and increase your anger against me; relief troops come against me.

For he is not a human being like I am, that I might answer him, that we might come together in judgment.

Is it good for you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?

For Job says,‘ I am innocent, but God turns away my right.

“ Yes, I know what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me.

My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up.

O that I knew where I might find him, that I could come to his place of residence!I would lay out my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.I would know with what words he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.Would he contend with me with great power? No, he would only pay attention to me.There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.

For whenever I prophesy, I must cry out,“ Violence and destruction are coming!” This message from the LORD has made me an object of continual insults and derision.

If a land has been given into the hand of a wicked man, he covers the faces of its judges; if it is not he, then who is it?

Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?

Even if he slays me, I will hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face!Moreover, this will become my deliverance, for no godless person would come before him.Listen carefully to my words; let your ears be attentive to my explanation.See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.Who will contend with me? If anyone can, I will be silent and die.Only in two things spare me, O God, and then I will not hide from your face:Remove your hand far from me and stop making me afraid with your terror.Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and you respond to me.How many are my iniquities and sins? Show me my transgression and my sin.

and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.

“ If only I had someone to hear me! Here is my signature– let the Almighty answer me! If only I had an indictment that my accuser had written.Surely I would wear it proudly on my shoulder, I would bind it on me like a crown;
